Hello and welcome to episode 1076 of The Sleeper and The Bust.

It is Tuesday, June 12th, July 12th, I'm your host, Paul Spor, joined this morning by Justin

Mason, Justin. Good morning, sir. Good morning. How you doing? I'm doing well. You know, I looked

in our sheet. I had 74 of there. I was like, that's my last episode. You did the Sunday episode.

So I got to 10 76 right. And then I botched the date and I said, June, instead of July,

I'm set with this. I really am. I'm an idiot. But we got plenty to talk about today. We're going to

get into a few news and notes on some guys trying to return from injury. I want to get your outlook

on them. Then we're going to start getting into some some preseason stuff and kind of checking out

how it's going, right? Things are still ungraded. But I think as we reach the break this weekend,

we can start looking in on something like a fade that we have. And we kind of start judging

ourselves on certain things and saying, okay, it was our reasoning right too, right? Because sometimes

you get the right answer with the wrong reasoning. And for me, I take credit off then. I say, okay,

well, I didn't think that's how it was going to go. So yes, I got you guys off the track on the

right path on the right way. But I was wrong by the how. And then other times, you nail it.

Looking over this list, we got some home runs and we got some major strike. We'll get into

them. Let's start with some news first. Michael Brantley has no timetable returning from his

injury at his age. What sort of level of concern do you have on the shoulder with Michael Brantley?

35 years old with a history of shoulder issues. I mean, I definitely have a high level concern,

but it also really hurts him maybe more than other guys because you need that volume from him

for him to be kind of fantasy impactful, right? Yeah. He delivers no real pop from. Yeah. And so

he's one of those guys that like if he's not delivering the volume, especially to pump up your

batting average and those runs and RBIs, he really becomes a lot less valuable than a player normally
